MARRIAGE BUREAU.

THE TRIBUNE's marriage bureau
is growing in popularity every day
and the membership is rapidly in
creasing. Although we have not
succeeded in marrying any OF the
boys as yet, we are conducting ne
gotiations for Mosby, Campbell,
Roberts, Pat Fahy, Dan Levan, M.
Devers and China Jim, that bid
fair to speedy and happy consum-
nation. We will shortly publish a
brief sketch of each candidate.
The Mountain Home Range and
Valley has the following to say of
our noble order. We are glad Bro.
Mason is with us:
The old bachelors of Caldwell
have formed a society with the be-
nevolent intention of marrying off
its members to Eastern damsels,
who have drifted well out with the
tide of years. Since the organiza-
ton three weeks ago the member
ship has increased to sixty. The
order is doing good work. 1t is
known as the Caldwell Brother
hood of Bachelors. A regularly
appointed committee visits every
train in the hope of dragging some
unfortunate from the wreck of time.
Bro. Steunenberg, of THE TRIBUNE,
is secretary, and invites correspon-
dence from any lady who has not
turned % more than three times.
A delegation from the Caldwell
Lodge will be here tomorrow even
ing for the purpose of instituting a
branch of the order at Mt. Home.
We will have a reporter present
who will report the proceedings.
The order will take the form of an
immigration brueau. 1t is thought
three or four car loads of Eastern
girls can be imported under con-
tract this summer.

Everybody should go to church

Everybody should go to church
tomorrow. There will be some
good talking by Rev. Spencer in
the morning and Rev. Barton, of
Boise, in the evening. Also on the
Sunday following Presiding Elder
Eads will hold quarterly meeting
both morning and afternoon, while
Rev. Spencer will preach in the
evening. These meetings will UNI
doubtedly prove very interesting,
and it might prove good idea for
some of the old sinners hereabouts
to break their twenty years record
and go to church once.
Hon. A. Caldwell, President of
the Idaho and Oregon Land I'm
provement Company, and his
daughter, Mrs. S. F. Taylor, of
Leavenworth, Kan, returned with
General Manager Strahorn Wednes-
day morning from the annual meet
ing of the company recently held at
Denver. Senator Caldwell and
Mrs. Taylor will be with us for sew
eral weeks. Their headquarters
are at the Strahorn residence. and
they will make trips to HALEY, On
tario, Mountain Home and other
Idaho points in which the company
is interested before returning. The
Senator is highly pleased at the
various signs of progress around
this favorite namesake Of his and
predicts a great future for us.

WEDDING BELLS.

From the Ovid Mich Register
Union, we clip an account of the
wedding of Clarence S. Scott, our
new banker. We regret that space
forbids us publishing the list of
presents, which were many and
handsome.
The social event Of the season,
the marriage of Mr.. Clarence S.
Scott to Miss Alice B. Biting, &C.
CURED Thursday evening, May 5,
and will be long remembered as
perhaps the most grand and at
tractive of any ever held in Ovid.
About 500 invitations had been
sent out, in obedience to which the
M. E. church was comfortably fill
ed about fifteen minutes before
o'clock, the appointed time. The
church windows were darlened,
the lamps lit and as the chancel
was decked with a profusion of
plants and flowers, the place look
ed indeed fitting for the occasion.
The chief feature of the decoration
was parasol made of flowers and
suspended from the ceiling, under
which the contracting parties were
to stand. The wedding procession
started from the residence of Mr..
F. J. Borough, and as it neared the
church Mrs. B. E. Terrill seated
herself at the organ and began the
wedding march. The ceremony
was short but very impressive, after
which they returned to Mr.. Bor-
oughs residence, where they receiv-
ed about one hundred and twenty
fine guests, who congratulated the
happy pair and partook of boun-
tiful supply of refreshments.
The bride, Miss Alice Biting,
has been a resident Of Ovid for
several years, is lady Of many
accomplishments, and her COM
pany has always been much sought
after by her many young friends
and acquaintance. She was dress
ed in white grosgrain silk, trim
med with lace and pearl beads and
Topped with orange blossoms. A
vail of silk illusion covered her
train and was fastened also with
orange blossoms.
The bridegroom, Clarence S.
Scott, came to Ovid some three or
four years ago and accepted a po-
sition as teller in the bank. He at
once became favorite among his
associates, and has proven himself
to be an exemplary young man.
He went to Dillon, Montana, last
July to assume position in a bank
at that place, and recently became
stakeholder in bank at Cald-
well, Idaho, and will be its cashier.
He was dressed in the customary
black with white kid gloves.
The happy pair, together with
Mrs. Helen Scott, leave tonight for
their new home in Caldwell, Idaho,
and the best wishes of the entire
community go with them.
